College Football Cocktails: Oregon Ducks

The Royal PeacockI chose this for Oregon because of the bird name/mascot and because peacocks seem like a good fit for a university that built it's brand with flashy uniforms.Ingredients:1.50 oz Agricole Rhum (Clement Blanc is a good choice)0.50 oz Mezcal (Vida is a good choice)0.75 oz Mango0.50 oz Lime juice (hand juice if possible)0.50 oz Passion fruit syrupor liqueur0.25 oz Simple syrup1 Dash habanero/jalapeno/spicy bitters (Scrappy's Bitters is a great company)Notes:If making it for one or two people highly recommend cutting and hand juicing citrus on the spot. If you're going to be making a lot of these then store bought juice will be fine.Simple syrup is 1:1 fine granulated white sugar and water. When making it at the bar we'll do liters at a time, when making at home, I'll do 100g of water and 100g of sugar and store in a mason jar in the refrigerator for about a week.Preparation:Add all ingredients and shake into ice then strain over ice into a collins glass or double old fashioned glass.Taste:This has a mellow fruity flavor on the nose, as mango is pretty mild in its sweetness and Agricole is Martinique Rhum that is not sweet at all, if anything is more earthy/grassy similar to Cachaça. Then then you feel the smokiness of the Mezcal which balances with the mango. The spicy bitters are there but doesnt take over the drink, its more just adds complexity and depth to the drink.History:Created by Shannon Mustipher and included in her recipe book, Tiki: Modern Tropical Cocktails.If you have any questions about anything mentioned above, please feel free to comment or PM me.Thanks and enjoy! via /r/u_CaptJean-LucDickhard https://ift.tt/2zMpuck
